Before any of you complains about her being unknown, let me tell you first, that AURORA is probably going to be the next “Lorde”. I am pretty sure 90% of the world’s population have heard Lorde’s humongous hit “Royals” at least once!
As a background, AURORA (real name Aurora Aksnes) …

The Life Aquatic is a pretty good movie. I’m sure you’ll agree with me, especially if you’ve seen it. It follows well in the tradition of the Wes Anderson movies. And one of the hallmarks of his (or their) films is they always contain a stellar …

Looking at the CD cover of Baduizm by Erykah Badu, I am totally amazed. There is no close singer like Erykah Badu and I think her image is totally unique and very original. She is unpretentious and there are just so many good things about this CD album.

Since Beyonce has embarked on her solo career, she has really raunched up her image and shows a lot more flesh than in the videos from her demure Destiny’s Child days. She is a sexy woman so I guess she is being clever and reckoning that sex sells, …

Overview - Metallica’s debut album, Kill ‘Em All, is an album that I would consider to be a break through for thrash metal and an extremely innovative album. Despite this, the album is far from perfect and extremely far from what Metallica was truly capable of, as they proved …

Perfect Situation is a song by Weezer which appears on their album Make Believe. Opening up with a simple guitar line and drum rhythm which both do a good job of building the energy for the track, a more definitive rhythm is established after about twenty seconds into the …

One of my live dvd concerts I own is You Gotta Move!! by Aerosmith. It was an originally an A&E special that turned into a DVD a few months after it aired on TV. This concert is a really good concert, but I wouldn’t call it much of a …

Aaliyah
“Back and Forth”
Age Ain’t Nothing But A Number
Blackground/Jive Records
Director: Millicent Shelton
There isn’t any other video that reeks of 90s style Hip Hop and R&B other than Aaliyah’s “Back And Forth”. This song and video was her debut on the music scene back in the early 90s, off of her first …

I was watching a video on youtube one day and it was about Twilight. The girl who made the video had used his song to play along with a little clip thing she had made about Twilight. And I think that the video itself is what made me like …

This CD track was given to me by my sister, and she wanted me to burn songs inside for her. The album is from the ever sexy songstress, Beyonce, and the album is called, “B’Day”. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure enough …

Kelly oh Kelly—¦ I remembered Kelly on the first time she showed on the first season of American Idol. She was so gorgeous! I bought this album, My December, last December. This is the kind of album that rocks all the way! Kelly shows more of her maturity in …

Black Sabbath were the original doomsday musicians and their experiment with sound paved the way for what was to become Heavy Metal.Master Of Reality combines all the elements of a true metal band.Ironically, they are the creators so that task was rather easy for them.If you like dark themes …

I have to admit that I have absolutely no idea what this song is really about. When I read the lyrics, I think about death. The blue moon reference, and “take me up in your arms” line makes me think that the lead singer is embracing …

L-Burna Thug By Nature is a CD released by Bone Thugs N Harmony member Layzie Bone. He uses L Burna as his nickname on this album. But he is in fact Layzie Bone from Bone Thugs N Harmony. He is a great rapper and he shows off his solo skills …

—¦And Justice For All, the title track of Metallica’s fourth record, is I believe the second longest song they have (The Outlaw Torn being the first) as the song is 9:47 in track length. With a length like this it isn’t unreasonable to be weary of listening to the …

Warbringer U.S. debut a year ago the album “War Without End.” I remember how I got him to describe, not knowing quite what to expect. The wave of retro-thrash bands that inspired the old masters are trying to boards of their power in the now very popular genre might …

Sean Paul is a reggae/dancehall artist hsiling from Jamaica and he has been a hit since he came on the scene years ago. I love his music and his new CD came out a while back called A New Age 2008. One of the songs that is featured on …

The first time I heard this young lady’s music was when I was in high school, and as the years have passed I’ve heard almost nothing from her. Thinking about it now, that could have been as a result of one of two reasons or probably both. The first …

Shaved Gorilla is a song by The Flaming Lips which appears on their third record, Telepathic Suicide. Opening up with a sampling of what sounds like a classic Disney film, Shaved Gorilla opens up with a very lighthearted mood and innocent sound. Once this opening sampling ends, a moderately …

Rattlehead is a song by Megadeth which appears on their debut record, Killing Is My Business… And Business is Good. Rattlehead starts off in an extremely fast manner and this is definitely the definition of early thrash metal in my opinion. The guitar riff is extremely rapid and Mustaine …

I have never really been a huge fan of Beyonce’s. But I am at least glad that she is breaking from some of that choppy singing that she does. In this song, she muses over the possibility of what it would be like if she were the …

In going all the way with its title, there are only three songs on the Beach Boys’ third album, ‘Surfer Girl’ (or four, if you don’t count the instrumental closer, “Boogie Woodie”), that are not about surfing, or that don’t mention surfing or the surfing waves in some capacity. …

Troye Sivan is really showing huge promise for an explosive end of 2015. His debut album “Blue Neighbourhood” will be released on December 4, competing (unfortunately) with the big band Coldplay and in the shadow of Adele’s triumphant return. Either way, I still believe Troye will certainly deliver, may …

When I first heard of Katy Perry’s Firework, I thought it is just another teenage song and so I didn’t pay much attention to it. But yesterday, my brother showed me a video he made using that song, and I was moved by the lyrics. Contrary to what I …

If your looking for a real blazing guitar instrumental, Then check out Cliffs of Dover by Eric Johnson. Its one of those guitar tunes that will probably inspire you to learn this song to impress many people that hear you play it. Although Im more of a guy who …

Hinnom, TX is a snog by Bon Iver which appears on their self-titled second album. The track opens up with a sound which I can only describe as being very airy and light. Once a listener hears the intro, it honestly sounds as if they’re listening to a song …

This is one of my favorite songs at the moment. As an artist, Jason Derulo is catching my eye more and more with every song he realeases. He is what I consider a matured Justin Bieber, his songs are really matured but they are still cute songs about that …

 
Ur so gay song by Katy Perry is an awesome song. It’s a funny, quirky song. The song is clearly about Katy perry or a girl, and the love of her life is gay but she didn’t realize it but she talks about all the gay stuff he did. …

Fourplay back to release the album with the title “Yes, Please”. This album, very energetic and sensual. The spirit of every personnel to always bring something new, might be the cause.

A very powerful voice by Darlene Zschech as she sings the song Here In My Life which deeply touched my spirit as I sing this song along even if I was alone or with somebody. I like how high is Darlene’s pitch. She is one of the best singers …

In my personal opinion, this is the most socially relevant usage of the stage musical in the history of the genre. It is a powerful love letter to Generation X that does not sugar coat the hardships faced by the LGBT community in the nineties, as well as …

This song makes no sense, but then again, it’s being sung by a teenager who knows nothing really about love. Not only that, this song really annoying due to that fact that it’s hard on the ears. The majority of this song is repeating itself over and over again …

Rihanna’s 7th album to date, she gifts us with the title “Unapologetic”. Although there’s no track in the album under the same title, I believe the theme is based around that title. Following the hype and promotion of this album, I decided to purchase a copy for myself. I …

The Judas Kiss, a second track on Death Magnetic which seems to be a fan favorite (along with All Nightmare Long) is yet another choice which I can easily understand. For the fans who remember the original Mission Metallica trailer, they’ll remember that the trailer contained a vocal section …

This has got to be the most creative way to ask someone to marry you, but I have to admit that it is a bit weird. But Jagged Edge makes weird sound really good. I know that if someone asked me to marry them like this and they sounded …

Here comes the judge! That’s right, this is the album that proved to the world Soundgarden was a legitimate threat to any rock Gods previous. Badmotorfinger, Soundgarden’s forth album, is where it really starts to get good.
Oh, man. I can hear the start of Rusty Cage playing in …

Last Night On Earth is a song by Green Day which appears on their album 21st Century Breakdown. Something I’m going to say about this track is that it’s the most melodic piece of music that I’ve ever heard Green Day do and I think that they just sound …

Audioslaves 2nd album, releases in May of 2005 produced by Rick Rubin, the title is a reference to the band’s exile from the first album, how they started as part rage against the machine part soundgarden and now they are their own band. This is a good album, the …

I love music, and I love music videos. Lady Gaga has gotten a lot of exposure lately and she happens to be on my top list of good artists but her latest video has me wondering.
Love game is her latest video. Anyone notice the similarities between her and …

I have always been a fan of Lana Del Rey. She has an incredibly, one of a kind voice, a sexy and sultry style, and meaningful lyrics. “Ultraviolence” is her third album, and as a fan, I was not disappointed. I have heard all of her previous work so …
